Voted Malt Advocat Blended/Blended Malt Whisky of the Year 2012

Tasting note

Appearance : Pale yellow.

Nose : Precise, nuanced. On the one hand, single grains packed full of notes of vanilla, pecan nuts and coconut. And on the other, the single malts with their liquoricey, almost earthy richness. In its final flourish, exotic fruits (guava, persimmon) and yellow

Palate : Both vigorous and unctuous. Single grains and single malts intertwine in perfect harmony. So much so that it is almost impossible to distinguish them. Held taut by a superb malted bitterness, it evolves with spices (clove) and a gourmand note of oven-bake

Overall : Long, more salty than sweet, it is also oily (green olive). Vanilla is present in all its forms: “bourbonesque”, ice cream, cream, vanilla pod. Lingers with menthol, liquorice and ripe fruits (Louise Bonne pear).
